Feel cancer has taken my old self away

Recovery from BC ( diagnosis last May) had surgery, chemo & radiotherapy. My life has pretty much gone back to normal . However it isn't . I'm struggling with my emotions, struggling at work( job I love) and can't seem to focus . People don't seem to understand how cancer messes with your life 

Not sure what to do, where to turn :-(

    No one really understands unless they've been there. My heart goes out to you. Have you tried asking for counselling from Macmillan? Breast Cancer Now have a Someone Like Me service where they put you in touch with someone who has had a similar history. I used that and it really helped.
